Please Note
Course Time Conflicts
The Physics Department does not permit time conflicts for any undergraduate students and will not approve override requests.
Discussion Section Switches
The Physics Department will not perform manual discussion section switches for students; we do not have the resources to accommodate these requests. Students must use CalCentral to perform the switch on their own.
